📖 Book Description:
In a quiet dorm room far from home, Dawn, a now-med student, begins to write what she never had the courage to say out loud. Things I Couldn't Say: A Journal of Almost is a deeply personal, bittersweet, and often humorous journey through the handwritten pages of a girl who once lived in the corners of silence.
Told through journal entries, Dawn recounts the story of her younger self-a college girl navigating unspoken crushes, missed opportunities, and friendships that faded without closure. Her biggest regret? Never telling Ash, her longtime crush from Dentistry, how she truly felt-only to discover he had a girlfriend during her MedTech board review week.
She writes of the best friend she lost, not through a fight, but through emotional distance she never dared to explain. She recalls the clubs she didn't join, the songs she never sang in front of others, and the Latin honors she failed to reach-each memory a haunting reminder of her hesitations and quiet choices.
Now, as a future doctor, she pens her regrets, reflections, and confessions-not just for herself, but as a bittersweet memoir of what it means to grow up quietly in a world that's loud with expectations. And maybe, just maybe, it's her way of healing.
